So what's with this media infatuation with incorrectly linking success on the field to eligibility for "millions of dollars of scholarships"? I've seen this before. You'd think the geniuses would actually get it right for once and state that the scholarships are open to students on any FIRST team, regardless of their robot's competitive performance. But I guess the truth shouldn't get in the way of a good "story". And what's up with the "Battle Bots" header?
I didn't know we received "$17,000" worth of kit parts each year, either. I'm going to take my unused kit crimp terminals and sell them on Ebay for $50 a pop.
Never did like ESPN much.
